UPDATE 6/1/12: And the winner is… #18 Donna F.! Congrats to our winner and thanks to everyone who participated.

Please note: The giveaway portion of this post has ended and is closed to further entries.

Sorrelli jewelry let me pick out a few of my favorite spring pieces to wear and share with you guys! Have you heard of Sorrelli? I was familiar with the brand after seeing their jewels on some of my favorite bloggers but had never owned any Sorrelli of my own. It's all really unique antique-inspired heirloom jewelry made with things like Swarovski crystal.

I gravitated towards the Sugary Sweet Necklace in Andalucia ($112.80), Ring in the New Year necklace in Andalucia ($74.40) and Ring in the New Year bracelet in Andalucia ($57.60) because they're shiny but also subdued, so you could wear these pieces layered with a t-shirt and jeans or with a cute summer dress. Or you can wear them as I've done, with man-repellant high-waisted paisley harem pants and a blazer. Oh yes.

These pieces are more expensive than what I'd normally pay for costume jewelry but I've been told these pieces last and they are worth the price for special occasions, gifts or (drumroll please) this fabulous giveaway! One lucky BB reader will get to win the exact pieces that I'm wearing in these photos (valued at nearly $250!!). So let's get started!

Today's giveaway is a little gift from me for Lancome Rouge in Love Miss Coquelicot lipstick ($25), which is quite possibly the perfect coral lip color, and Lancome Tangerine Le Vernis Nail Polish ($15), which is quite possibly the perfect tangerine orange hue. I'm convinced this flattering pair will amp up any spring or summer look. Besides, the packaging is just so pretty, how can you not love this combo?!
